BSNYC Friday Fun Quiz And Long Weekend Announcement!

(Happy Valentard's Day!)

Wow, what an action-packed weekend! Not only is today Valentude's Day, but it's also the 10th anniversary of Marco Pantani's fun-filled death, and it's Presidents Day, which means in honor of AMERICA! I won't be posting on Monday, February 17th, but will be back on Tuesday, February 18th with regular updates:

(Wow, they really fucked up that mountain, what a shame.)

Sure, I could post anyway, but they're having some sweet sales on Hyundais and I need to take advantage.

I guess the current entry has been "corrected," but at least this version still exists in some sort of Wikipedia limbo. Here's an excerpt:

Barraga's intense bicycle hatred stems from an incident that occurred as a child. At the age of 9, when his father was teaching him to ride a bicycle, Barraga's low-hanging balls got caught in the spokes of his bicycle. He has despised all forms of unmotorized transport ever since. He has thereafter made it his personal mission in life to see to it that 90% of all bicyclists are involved in on-road accidents. Barraga explained, "I loved my balls. I would play with them often, five, six times a day. I resolved to destroy that which destroys balls."

Sounds plausible to me.

In the meantime, spring has never seemed more remote, and this image sums up the current state of affairs here rather succinctly:

Hey, that was me that updated the Wiki page (the original update, which stuck, not the balls-oriented stuff). I am really glad I contributed to people knowing more about Thomas Barraga. I just hope he has bicyclists or motorcyclists among his constituents, so that someone who wants to challenge him for his seat has a built-in base.

"Check the large holes in the rim. Most fat bike rims today are single-wall, one layer of material in the rim. With the cutout single wall rims, the one cool side effect is that you can see the rim tape that bulges out due to the pressure in the tube."

My sister-in-law tells a story about how she went water skiing as part of her prewedding celebration and bruised her tailbone. I mentioned that if it hurt after her wedding night, she was doing it wrong. We don't talk much anymore.

You can tell Peachy that snowman is pathetic, but also oddly beautiful.

I have to take my leave to get a VD card for the lady friend and also a small gift that she won't like. In the last 12 months I'm about 1 for 10 in the liked gifts category. She always makes sure I know this fact.

Hey McFly...While you were enjoying sexy time some of your fellow Volunteer rubes were drinking the kool-aid and voting against their self-interest. 'Don't yo'all know them unions is a commie plot."http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/02/15/business/volkswagen-workers-reject-forming-a-union.html?referrer=I know I would be for anything that pinhead Norquist is against.

I have been working in manufacturing in the south for over 20 years. I started out makin 30k and now I make 50k. I did not finish college. I get a months vac every year. I dont need no stinkin union. They needed them way back when but the world is a different place now where most everyone is held accontable to some extent.

Huh.... so they figure the jet stream is changing all of a sudden, that rising temperatures in the arctic have slowed it down and caused it to meander. This means weather systems get stuck in places much longer, accounting for the flooding in the UK, and the freezing in eastern and central North America. It means that cold weather is reaching further south, and warm weather further north, as peeps in Alabama and Alaska can all attest to.

At least we get brighter, drier winters here in Vancouver, which means I can ride more, but you guys out east will all need fat bikes. Sorry bout yer luck.
